Psalm 14

The fool speaks in his heart;

“There is no God,” he says.

They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;

none walk in godly ways.

The LORD looks down from heaven

upon the human race,

To see if any understand,

if any seek God’s face.

They all have turned aside;

corrupt they have become.

Not one of them does any good—

no, not a single one.

Will sinners never learn?

My people they’ve devoured

As if they were consuming bread;

they never seek the LORD.

Struck down they are with dread,

for God is with the just.

You evildoers shame the poor,

but in the LORD they trust.

May help from Zion come,

the LORD his captives bring!

And then let Jacob’s tribes rejoice;

let Isr’el gladly sing.
